What is the significance of the 1.45 A/R ratio?

The 1.45 A/R (Area to Radius) ratio indicates the size of the turbine housing's internal passages. A larger A/R like this one generally supports higher exhaust flow, which is beneficial for making more horsepower and sustaining boost at higher engine RPMs.

What does the T6 flange mean for my setup?

The T6 flange is a common standard for larger turbochargers. It means this housing will bolt up to exhaust manifolds and wastegate actuators designed for the T6 flange pattern, offering good compatibility with many performance exhaust systems.

Why is this part not CARB approved?

This turbine housing is not CARB (California Air Resources Board) approved, meaning it does not meet California's emissions standards. As a result, it cannot be legally shipped to California.

Product Details

This BorgWarner S500SX SX turbine housing features a 1.45 A/R ratio and a T6 turbine inlet flange, designed to optimize exhaust flow for high-performance forced induction systems. The 110mm inducer diameter is a key specification that helps determine how quickly the turbocharger spools up and the overall powerband it can achieve. A larger A/R ratio, like the 1.45 found here, generally means the housing is designed for higher exhaust flow rates, which can support more horsepower and sustain boost at higher engine speeds. This makes it a solid choice for builds aiming for significant power output where exhaust gas management is critical.

Constructed from durable cast iron, this housing is built to withstand the extreme temperatures and pressures generated by a turbocharger. The T6 turbine inlet flange is a common standard for larger turbochargers, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of exhaust manifolds and wastegate setups. The VTF designation indicates specific internal geometry developed by BorgWarner to enhance performance characteristics, often relating to improved spool response or efficiency. When selecting a turbine housing, matching the A/R and flange type to your engine's displacement, camshaft profile, and intended use is crucial for achieving the desired power delivery and turbocharger efficiency.

This turbine housing is intended for custom turbocharger builds or as a replacement part for specific BorgWarner S500SX turbocharger models. It's important to note that this part is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Ensure your build plans align with local emissions regulations. Proper installation involves careful alignment with the turbine wheel and compressor housing, and securing it according to manufacturer specifications to prevent leaks and ensure optimal performance.
